I was just doing some testing with 6.2.0 with the official Linux binaries and noticed that only the 2 OSPRay backends are now available, and the OptiX option is gone? Yet the [latest manual](https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/ReferenceManual/advancedRendering.html) still describes it.

And while looking at the available ANARI options it seems to be based on visrtx (based on warnings about unsupported features), which thankfully seems to be included in the binaries. But is missing from the docs.

The OSPRay pathtracer seems to be broken, as increasing samples per pixel turns the rendered object blue (and I vaguely remember seeing this before, but can’t find any bug report):

When trying out ANARI the `quality` option seems to ignore the background color set (or at least turns it black):

So at this point I’m kind of wondering what to expect when it comes to raytraced rendering in 6.2.0, are these known issues? Am I doing something wrong?
